(IN CHAMBERS) TEXT-ONLY ENTRY by Magistrate Judge A. Joel Richlin: The Court is in receipt of Respondents' Notice of Intended Removal (the Notice). (Dkt. 13 .) The Notice advises that Petitioner was ordered removed by an immigration judge on June 5, 2026, and that Petitioner had until July 6, 2026, to appeal, but Petitioner did not do so. (Id. at 2.) Therefore, Petitioner's removal order is now final and Respondents intend to remove him shortly. (Id.) Accordingly, the Court directs Respondents to file a status report within five court days of any future removal and address whether this matter is moot in that report. Any status report shall be supported by sworn affidavits and/or documentary evidence. IT IS SO ORDERED. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.

(IN CHAMBERS) TEXT-ONLY ENTRY by Magistrate Judge A. Joel Richlin: The Court is in receipt of Petitioner's Response to Notice of Intended Removal (the Response). (Dkt. 16 .) In the Response, Petitioner contends, and provides supporting documentation, that he timely appealed the Immigration Judge's Removal Order, initially on June 18, 2026, and then again on June 30, 2026. Thus, broadly construing Petitioner's pro se filing, Petitioner appears to contend that the Immigration Judge's Removal Order is not final because he timely appealed. In light of the Response, the Court directs Respondents to file a response stating whether the Immigration Judges Removal Order is final, supported by documentation, no later than July 24, 2026. IT IS SO ORDERED. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY. (asi) TEXT ONLY ENTRY (Entered: 07/22/2026)

(IN CHAMBERS) TEXT-ONLY ENTRY by Magistrate Judge A. Joel Richlin: The Court is in receipt of Respondents' Status Report Regarding Notice of Intended Removal. (Dkt. 18 .) The status report advises that the BIA apparently accepted Petitioner's late-filed appeal of his removal order and has not yet ruled on Petitioner's motion to accept a late appeal. (Id.) Respondents advise that based on these developments, they did not move forward with Petitioners removal. (Id.) Therefore, the Court directs Respondents to file a new notice of intended removal providing at least two court days' notice to Petitioner and the Court if they intend to remove Petitioner in the future while this action is pending. Additionally, the Court intends to address the merits of the Petition, but notes that Petitioner has not yet filed a reply to the Answer. This is Petitioner's opportunity to respond to the Answer. Therefore, the Court directs Petitioner to file a reply to the Answer no later than August 10, 2026. After that date, if no reply is received, the Court will rule on the basis of the Petition and the Answer. IT IS SO ORDERED. THERE IS NO PDF DOCUMENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ENTRY.
